I always felt he was an option at 32. A good time would've put him in the 20-25 range. Now that he's not, he's in the 30-40 range

there's absolutely 0 chance he falls to 64. He's still a top 50 pick. His talent and productivity is too much to overlook because of a bad 40 time. Depending on what we want, he really does fit. If we want Cruz to be a deep threat. Sanu is a #1 guy, with #1 hands, blocking ability, route running and work ethic. The speed isn't there, but on 3rd and 4, you line him and Nicks out wide and Cruz in the slot. How're you going to stop that (other than a draw to DJ Ware, but i digress)

while I agree, Sanu in big blue is a long shot, I'm just curious to why you think there's no way reese takes him

Looking at this objectively (I could careless about Rutgers or Big East football; I have no biases) I see no way that Sanu is the best player available at 32. Reese is extremely strict on his BPA philosophy. He always stays true to it. Sanu is a solid early-mid 2nd round prospect. He is just not the athlete that warrants a first round pick. Guys like Hill and Randle are trending upwards, while Sanu, not so much, after the combine. Not only that but WR is just not a huge need at 32. Sanu at 32 just does not make any sense to me.

Is Sanu likely to be at 64, of course not, is plausible? I believe so. Manningham was projected to be a 2nd rounder (albeit he had horrible interviews and also a disappointing 40 time) but he fell all the way to the end of round 3.

The only way I will agree with the Sanu pick is at 64, or if Reese trades up in round 2, which we know is very unlikely.

eh, i think people are taking too much stock in the combine, i've never been a big fan unless someone comes in REALLY out of shape or something etc. that's me on a personal thing, not just with sanu. maybe it's just me.

I just disagree on WR being a big need. I think it's our biggest need (with TE). We don't have a TE that can walk and we're losing our 3rd WR in FA. Our running game was putrid, we need a 3rd weapon on offense. there's no if's and's or but's about it

Sanu isn't a first round pick. I love Sanu just as much as the next guy, but with so many WRs in this draft, and his 4.65 40, you can't justify taking Sanu in the 1st anymore. It's just not a smart pick anymore.

Now if he's there with our 2nd, then absolutely. Now I know GF and Scotty think there's no way he's there, but I disagree. I think it's very possible he's there. He's slow. And there's a good 8 WRs in this draft that have 1st and 2nd round grades to them. So yeah, one of them will definitely fall, and I can see Sanu being one of those guys.

Hell, Mike Wallace fell to the 3rd round during the Nicks/Crabtree draft. This draft is just as deep, there's no reason to think that a very good WR won't be there at 64 for us. And it could be Sanu.

I have to check out this Hill guy. The measureables are making me drool. We need a deep threat guy bc having 3 guys who can go deep really makes our offense tick in this system. At 6 5" and a 4.3 40...yeah, I like that. I'll gladly take that. But of course, it all depends, combine numbers don't mean everything. So I'll see what I can find on the guy and make a better judgement of him based on what I see.

I know its VERY early, but a quick prediction for our schedule:
AFC North- Beat Cincy and Cleveland
NFC South- Beat Carolina, Tampa and one of NO or ATL
NFC East- 4-2 or 3-3
Packers and 49ers- Maybe we get one win, both teams will be playing with a HUGE chip on their shoulder.

Anywhere from 11-5 to 8-8, bout the same that we expected coming into this year. Lets hope we stop playing to the level of our lesser competition and show up every week on the road to a repeat. Going to be tough playing all 3 teams we played in the playoffs this year.

It's going to be like 2008 all over again when we played 8 games in a row with teams over .500 and we won most of them. If Fewell continues to call the defense as he did during our run we should be able to get to 10.

If we stay healthy too, which is always the biggest IF in football. We have the talent to win the Division again. If Fewell keeps it up like you said we will be in fine shape

We are close to resigning Hixon and Bart Scott wants to play for the real NY team:

Quote:

he New York Jets reportedly have given starting linebacker Bart Scott permission to seek a trade. Scott’s agent told ESPNNewYork's Rich Cimini that the linebacker would go to the New York Giants "in a heartbeat."

Are the defending Super Bowl champions a good landing spot for Scott? Here are some thoughts:

I think this would be a good fit for Scott. It's well-documented that the Giants lacked linebacker depth this past season. A hard-nosed player like Scott would bring more toughness, depth and attitude to the group. For Scott, he doesn't have to go far. The Giants and Jets play in the same stadium, and the Giants also train closer to the Meadowlands.

But there is no reason for the Giants to help the Jets by giving up a late-round pick and taking on Scott’s $4.2 million salary. Scott, 31, experienced declining production in 2011. His 66 tackles were his lowest total in seven seasons. It's doubtful there will be much (or any) interest in Scott under his current contract. The Giants, if interested, can simply wait until Scott is released, negotiate a more reasonable contract and preserve a draft pick.

Either way, Scott’s return to the Jets appears unlikely. Having permission to seek a trade usually is the first step to parting ways. The team usually is trying to get a parting gift -- a draft pick or two -- on the way out the door. That seems unlikely for the Jets.
